GTX295 problems. Flickering/artifacts ONLY in WoW.

The dealer think the card is defective, so I'll probably get a new card. He will contact me tomorrow. I'll keep you updated.

Agreed but the point I was trying to make (albeit badly

) was that I wouldn't want the card back now...

He called me now and said that they've had the card @ 105 degrees for 12 hours. I said to him that this is way too hot. He then said that "we've had cards like that @ 110 degrees without probs..."

Anyways, he will give me a new card. But he offered me a GTX560 card which he said had similar performance to the GTX295.

Is this correct? I badly want the dealer to give me a GTX570 card.

It is not correct see this comparison, among many: GeForce GTX 295 vs GeForce GTX 560 Ti – Performance Comparison Benchmarks @ Hardware Compare

NTW, the 570 would be better that the 295, Go for the 570....

I complained a bit to him in the last mail I sent about GTX560 vs GTX295, and I got this mail back;

"An Asus GTX 570 DirectCUII is waiting for you, so just come by and pick it up when you want:)"

I'm very happy now.

Then I can mark the thread as solved, once and for all. :) Thanks a lot for your help everybody! Very appreciated.
